The Chihuahua, the smallest breed of dog in the world, is also one of the most fragile. You need to control what you eat every day, since being overweight is one of the most serious problems you can have.
Therefore, we are going to tell you how much a Chihuahua dog should weigh. This way you will know if your friend needs to make changes in his daily routine.
All dogs of all breeds or crossbreeds must be kept at their ideal weight, that is, their ribs do not have to be marked but they do not have to drag their belly every time they walk. Having a few extra pounds can be a funny thing for dogs, but we cannot ignore that excess fat endangers your health and, in serious cases, his own life.
The risk increases if it is a breed of dog as small as the Chihuahua. These furry their bones are very fragileSo if you eat more than you should, you could get injured or broken by jumping or running.
Thus, it is very important to keep your weight between 1,5 and 2,7 kilos, no more no less. To do this, it will be necessary to put the amount of food that he needs according to his age, which we can know by looking at the weight label that the feed bags have.
By the way, if you want to save on food, I recommend that you give it a high quality feed, which contains a lot of animal protein and is free of cereals. The more meat he has, the less feed you will have to give him since he will not need to eat as much to feel satisfied. And that's not to mention that he will grow much stronger and healthier 😉.
Although, yes, do not forget to take it out for a walk daily to keep you in shape and, above all, to be happy.
